How the opposite palace is pulled in
The opposite Spouse Palace is affected too: your forcefulness at work can follow you into love, and your partner may be a strong figure as well.

Which star takes Quan in your birth year
The birth-year Four Transformations are set by the heavenly stem of your birth year: people born in a Jia year get Hua Quan on one star, people born in a Yi year on another. The table lists the star for each of the ten stems. If that star sits in your Career Palace, this page describes your chart. Tap a star name to read about it in the Career Palace.
| Year stem | Star that takes Quan | The flavor of Quan it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Jia years (ending in 4) | Po Jun | The nerve to reform and break new ground. |
| Yi years (ending in 5) | Tian Liang | An elder’s authority: caring, but also in charge. |
| Bing years (ending in 6) | Tian Ji | Command over planning and decisions. |
| Ding years (ending in 7) | Tian Tong | Gentle on the surface, firm underneath. |
| Wu years (ending in 8) | Tai Yin | Quiet control, focused on home and money. |
| Ji years (ending in 9) | Tan Lang | Pull in social circles and a strong drive for what you want. |
| Geng years (ending in 0) | Wu Qu | A firm hand with money and execution. |
| Xin years (ending in 1) | Tai Yang | Visibility and influence. |
| Ren years (ending in 2) | Zi Wei | The emperor star takes the reins: the strongest urge to lead. |
| Gui years (ending in 3) | Ju Men | Words that carry weight; authority through expertise. |
Zi Wei Dou Shu changes year on Lunar New Year’s Day, so if you were born in January or February, check your lunar year first. The year stem follows the last digit of the Western year (1984 and 1994, for example, are Jia years).
